At 23, Muntinlupa City is one of the youngest cities in the Philippines. But it has already become one of the frontrunners in its class in terms of competitiveness and quality of life for its residents.

Up to 1901, Muntinlupa was part of Morong District (which was later renamed Rizal Province). Two years later, the Philippine Commission decreed – for reason unknown – that Muntinlupa should be part of Laguna, more specifically, the town of Biñan.

More than 600 gymnasts and coaches from seven countries will converge in the Philippines to honor the contributions of a departed coach in the sport when the 1st Sonny Ty International Gymnastics Cup is held October 15 and 16 at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex, at the Tunasan Baywalk.
